Reggie Wayne visited the White House in 2007 with his Indianapolis Colts teammates following their victory in SuperBowl XLI over another former Miami football legend Devin Hester and the Chicago Bears. Visiting the White House has become controversial in recent years with the current administration.
The Golden State Warriors who the Raptors defeated four games to two in the 2019 NBA Finals chose not to visit the White House after winning their third NBA Championship in four seasons in 2018. Several members of Boston Red Sox chose not to visit the White House this year after their World Series victory last fall.
